The dishwasher didn’t work, I tried to notify our contact, but I wasn’t able to get ahold of them. There is a laundry facility that shares the driveway, and sometimes their trucks block you in. We did enjoy our stay.

Large house, showing some wear, you won’t be able to see the exterior soon, as the growth is taking over, not in a great place, if I hadn’t read the reviews I’m not sure I would have found it. It needs a deep cleaning on walls, ceiling fans, and wall decor, getting and returning the key super easy. The tv remotes didn’t work, along with the dvd player. But, I would still stay there again.

Beautiful Big House in Mackinaw

We loved the house. It was very clean and roomy. This house was built to be lived in. What a great location for a day visit to Macinaw Island or bridge access and northern Michigan. Some highlights: Red Tail Fox in back yard, Extra cedar sun room ( favorite morning coffee place), very comfortable beds and furnishings, Very Very clean, Fire pit with lots of outdoor seating, full kitchen, terrific master bedroom with spa tub and big walk-in showers. Easy to check-in, out and to find. As they say, bring your own entertainment and hot spot. WiFi in the area was good.

Could be nice.

Beautiful home, but very neglected. What a shame, you can tell at one time this was a very nice home, but looks very neglected in recent times. Beautiful location, but awful trying to get to it. It needs a dedicated drive and not share with the laundry facility.

The property is not decorated remotely like the photos. Bare walls. Everything is very dated and rundown. The house is large with lots of room but a house that size has to be cleaned much better. Bad dust everywhere, floors were sticky, inside all of the kitchen cabinets were filthy. Half the lights in the house didnt work or we the fixtures were missing. Dishwasher was broken, washing machine smelled really bad. Outside landscaping, everything was overgrown and unkept. The path to the driveway is off putting and can be hard to find the first time around. A simple sign would help or a seperate drive directly to the house. We cleaned then stayed but would not rent again.

Nice place - but bring the unexpected

The property is nice, clean, and secluded. There were no salt and pepper, no spices, and no knives for dicing. Though it’s a house, you’ll need to bring things you typically wouldn’t. The check in process should be much easier than going to a hotel and picking up the key. Start with getting WiFi to the place and using a ring camera door bell as well as a key lock pad for easy check in. It was a good experience. But a one and done.

Same story as several other lower ratings. House was tricky to find and not clean or ready for us when we arrived. Host was not apologetic or friendly about sending a team to clean the house. No wifi or television channels, but dvd player worked so plan accordingly. Definitely wouldn’t be my first choice to stay again and certainly not worth the price - but the house was spacious and relatively comfortable so it did trick for our short trip.

The house was adequate. We had to search for towels. There were only partial rolls of toilet paper in each bathroom. No extras. For a reservation of 10 people. A toaster was listed as a kitchen appliance but after searching high and low we found none. The dishwasher was broken so with 10 people we had hand wash dishes. And last but not least the directions to find the place were awful. No one’s GOS could find it. The directions given to me when I picked up the key were good to a point. What they didn’t tell me was that when you turn right the first time, you’re turning into the commercial laundry facilities for all the hotels and you have to drive through their their parking lot to find a trail into the wood before you get to the house.

Horrible location and literally no amenities

House smelled musty, heat stopped working, furniture is not comfortable, no internet, no TV service, no hot water at first either. House is located next to the industrial cleaning facility that does all the laundry for the hotels.It is secluded, which is nice, and right near downtown Mackinaw City.

Big house with plenty of parking and privacy

The house was secluded so that was a huge plus. Plenty of parking as well if you have multiple cars. Communication with host was lacking until the week of the stay. That aside, very nice stay.

It was a wonderful place to stay nestled in the woods. We had a family from Berlin, Germany staying with my husband.and I! The children ages 9,11, and 14, We had access to the lake and water park across the street so that was a bonus! I do have a complaint about the kitchen, no paper towels, no dishcloths (the dishwasher was broken) and only 2 wine glasses! Also, there was a bit of coffee for us but you should have a Keurig coffee maker as well! We brought Keurig pods with us, and/or a bigger coffee maker. The kids weren’t able to use tv or play a movie, not sure why! It also was very cold and we couldn’t control the air conditioner! Two adults and 3 children stayed upstairs and there were only 3 towels! Other than that a lovely location!

The house was NOT clean at all! It was very dirty, and looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a long time. The kitchen was also filthy, and had very little in the way supplies to use. The pictures are very misleading, and do not accurately represent the inside or outside of the house. Also, getting to the house is a nightmare. When we arrived back at the house Saturday evening, the driveway was blocked by someone using a large machine, and refused to move it. After argument from our group, they finally moved it so we could access the driveway to the house. As for the positives, the host was very responsive when we arrived and realized the heat in the house was not working. Also, the house could be very nice with a very thorough cleaning and updating. Also, better access to the house would benefit renters greatly.

The location is terrible

This house is located off a road that appears to be owned by a hotel. The house is directly next to warehouses and some type of linen cleaning facility. This house will not allow you to feel like your on vacation.

The house is secluded and there is a trail for hiking and biking that leads directly to downtown Mackinaw City, as well as another trail that allows access to the beach.
